Cable re-burn in


How long does it take for an already burnt in cable to re-burn in back to optimal? I'm doing a lot of interconnect and speaker cable comparisons and sometimes a cable will sit unused for several hours to several days. Is it a fair comparison to A/B one cable against another when cable "B" has sat for unused foe 3 days?

I would suspect that several hours is not enough to change anything but several days or perhaps weeks will do it. I remember that when reviewer disconnected battery from Audioquest IC he could not hear any difference but connecting it back after long time was audible (cleaner "darker" background, better clarity etc.)
I dunno, domino. Do you honestly believe that if there is a correct answer to this question you will be able to identify it buried within the number of "other" answers in this thread?
Of course the longer you wait the less likely you remember what something sounds like. Aural memory for musical sounds is very short
Pretty simple actually: for every three hours left unplugged

The quintic looks like this:

ax^5 + bx^4 + cx^3 + dx^2 + ex + f = 0, x or as I like to put it, .... It Depends on your equipment and level of OCD.
For me I have an IsoTek CD System Enhancer & Rejuvenation Disc that is about an hour long. I just let the disk play from beginning to end once or twice depending on how long cables or my system has been sitting dormant. I found that is all I need. If the cables haven been sitting dormant for several hours I wouldn't sweat it. I would think you and your ears may need a break from all the A/Bing then re-burning in your ICs and SCs.

Another idea would be to maybe just throw together a 2nd system together where signals will be sent through the ICs and SCs while you are doing A/Bing in your main rig?
